Jackson Rathbone is Kinda Growing on Me. A Lot...

Here JJ, have a cigarette. I already lit it for you. You don't know how long I've been waiting for you...

I've always been an unapologetic RPattz girl but lately...I dunno. My thoughts have kind of been turning toward Jackson Rathbone.

At first, I was pretty sure it had to do with the fact that he's going to be in The Last Airbender, which I am stupidly excited to see. I mean c'mon! It's got kung-fu, magic, action, bad guys, and some little kid with neat-o tattoos. What's not to like?

Neat-O tattoos. aka Ever Lasting Job Stopper...

But then suddenly I would see other pictures of Jacksper--non-Airbender pictures--that I've seen a hundred times before with barely a pause but now I just stop dead in my tracks. And stare. Hard.

A boy with tattoos makes my cooter smile and sigh...especially if he's fucking adorable like Jacksper...

I know I've dismissed poor Jackson as someone who was too skinny and tall-ish [hey, I'm 5'1'' - everyone is fucking tall] to be attractive to me but here's the thing. That used to be my type back when I was younger. Now that I'm a little older, sporting a beer gut, and I'm pretty sure my ass is relocating to directly behind my knees, skinny dudes are out.

In general, I try not to get the hots for guys skinnier or prettier than me.

He also scored another point with me when I discovered that his band, 100 Monkeys once listed my all time favoritest band ever, Man Man, as one of their influences. I like a boy with good taste in music.

But there is another reason why Jackson's growing on me.

You see, I've been mulling over this post for awhile now and a few days ago, a few readers sent us some pictures and a story that pretty much sealed the deal. You know, icing on the cake. Cock in the pooper...

Because it proves that Jackson Rathbone is just plain fucking awesome. Because he's chillin' with some amazing peeps...

Llaaaaaaaadies...

This is F-Kat, Twilove1 and Z any Mouse. And they are hanging out with the 100 Monkeys. I mean, check it out - they have Jacksper in a Twitarded sandwich!! If that ain't sassy, I don't know what is.

According to Twilove1:

I recently went to two 100 Monkeys concerts with my Twitarded friends F-Kat and Z any Mouse (plus our two 18 year old daughters that we use as both bait and cover) and got some pretty good pictures of Jackson.

Here's the ol' bait n' switch in action...

I don't know what I'm more jealous of, those glasses F-Kat Jr. is wearing or the fact that Jackson's got his arm around her!

And here are a few pictures of the maestro himself in action (Pictures courtesy of Twilove1 and Z any Mouse because I accidentally fucked up and don't remember who took what. Sorry, ladies!)

JeebusFuckingCrispies that smile is just infectious.

The face of a mad musical man.

I'm torn between thinking that coat is fuck-awful or... fuck-awesome...

Apparently, not only is Jackson a looker, an actor, and a musician, he's also just a really all-around nice fucking guy. While some celebs tend to look totally put-out taking pictures or hanging out with the rest of us, Jackson looks... happy. He's really enjoying himself. And frankly, considering the comments these ladies often leave here, what's not to enjoy? They rock.

Another picture with JackSparrowson

In fact, the next time they saw Jackson, he called them hot mamas!!! Fucking hot mamas.

And he's totally fucking right.

All these ladies prove that you don't need to be 18 to have a blast. Or to be badass, for that matter, since this is how Twilove1 describes another venue (that was closed down by the fire marshall before the show even started) where they tried to see 100 Monkeys play:

...I don't know the exact reason, but the building looked like a shack that you would expect to see out behind an old farmhouse. It was way out in the desert in the middle of nowhere, and we were so sure "The Crossing" was going to end up being somebody's garage with a misspelled cardboard sign tacked to the outside. When it turned out to be a ramshackle shed next to an actual railroad track, we laughed our heads off, right up until we realized who was standing outside of it. We literally skidded to a stop in the dirt directly in front of Jackson (I drive a mustang and have mad skidding skills) and the four of us leaped out of the car like it was on fire.

Hot Mamas, most definitely.

Thank you, lovely ladies for sharing your story!!

P.S. - I secretly hate you for being so tight with around my new-found crush. But in the love-hate kinda way.

Thank God others see the greatness that is Jackson, Jacksper, J-Rath, or whatever hell you want to call him. He's hot and hot in the kind of way when he's grimey he doesn't look like he smells like balls and poo. He looks like he had some fun and the good kind of fun.

Thank you for this post - I may have to lick my screen just to get a little closer to you and Jackson. Meow!!!

@JJ: I'll consider forgiving you for not using the Twired Sista's kick ass collection of JRath pics, not to mention the 2 pics we have with his sexy arms wrapped around us on two separate occasions...it's fine...it might have started a Jacksonitis epidemic. All of the hospitals would be inundated and have to start triaging thousands of middle-aged women. JK.

Thanks, Twitarded...you're personally responsible for the fact that my two new friends and I have been chasing (much) younger, tatted, musically inclined, skinny, pretty boys from Anaheim to Where-the-hell-is-Palmdale, California. And it's FUN! The in-person charisma of these boys is really something to behold.

Great post. I love seeing pictures of fellow Twitards... oh yea and the pics of Jackson ;) This was my favorite part of the post though: "We literally skidded to a stop in the dirt directly in front of Jackson (I drive a mustang and have mad skidding skills) and the four of us leaped out of the car like it was on fire." It's a great visual and made me lol.

I agree that Jackson just seems to be very happy and likes to meet his fans. Jacksonitis is becoming an epidemic in Twitardia.

Hey...back off - Jackson is MINE Alllllll mine....has been for the last 18 - 24 months...well, at least in my head he is and he hasn't a damn clue, so it's going to come as rather a disturbing shock to him!! :p But...I love that more people are finally appreciating the Jacksper love...because I just spent an entire weekend arguing with my (obviously insane!) friend who claims he's not at all attractive (I'll get her checked in for an eye check soon!)Btw, I am desperate to meet him...I even found myself checking the cost of flights from the UK to Jacksonville for a show of theirs (unfortunately I need to win the lottery to afford it!) and I'm SO jealous of those who have met him. He needs to get his cute ass and bring his monkeys with him to the UK asap!!

Look at our ladies *Wooohooo Z Any Mouse* Hot mamas indeed, and... they make Jackson hot, that's what's going on here. I'm not sure how you could stand to listen to his music, but if he played near me, I'd be all over it, just for the simple fact that I support my Twipeeps in all that do, so don't hate on me if I say, respectfully *whispering* I think his music sounds like poo. But Jackson, has a very Johnny Depp vibe. Love him..

I'm feeling the Jackson love. I've been crushing on him since I read Eclipse (I read the books after seeing the film) and noticed Jasper which made me notice Jackson who I liked. Alot. He's gorgeous, talented, seems like a nice guy, and has curly hair. I couldn't ask for more...ok I will admit I'd like him to be abit taller. What? Don't hate me I'm 5'8 I need a tall man! Saying that I would still marry him and have his babies. Yes I say that even though I hate children hehehe.

Ah yes, I do looovveee me some Jacksper. 100 Monkeys came to my neck of the woods this summer and I got to go. I took some pics but that Jacksper is really difficult to photograph. He usually doesn't stay still long enough! Must really be into the whole vampire thing not wanting to show up in photos or something.

I fuckin love Jackson!! I saw him and his band for the first time and it was awesome! I didn't know he has tatts, and I thought he couldn't get any hotter. And I like my guys tall, I'm 5'2 so I'm like you JJ everyone is fucking tall to me! Lol

I wasn't at all impressed with Jacksper in Twilight (whoever decided that wig was a good idea needs to be hunted down and shot), but seeing non-Twi pics of him afterwards, he really grew on me. Yum. Definitely second on my Twilight: To Do list.

Oh I've been drooling over that hotness since the first time I saw Twilight- even all Edward-Scissorhandsed-out I KNEW Jackson was HOT! But I'm a big fan of tall and thin guys - my DH is 6'6" and although he's worked very hard to be 245lbs of bulk, when I met him 11 years ago he wasn't the wall of muscle he is now.*sigh* I'm also a BIG fan of ink, big big fan. Just finished my very large back piece yesterday ;-)

Great post, if I do say so myself! I always save my Twitarded reading for when the family is out of eye-shot of the 'puter, but I got the heads up and decided to risk life, limb, and the delinquency of my minors to read the post right away. I was cautiously scrolling down expecting a sparkle peen or something to suddenly appear, but I just got us and Jackson. Whew!

If you look very closely at the pic with Jacksper in the Twitarded sandwich, you will see my teeny tiny Twitarded pin on my purse (the quilted teal one) proudly displayed.

@HG Maybe it's the excitement of the live show and all, but I do actually like their music. If it was really awful, I don't think I would have gone to more than one show. The hard part is having to sit through 3 or 4 warm-up bands, #1 & 2 being downright awful. F-Kat described them acurately as 3 brothers playing kazoos or some shit like that.

The boys have talent. They all play all the instruments and do a fine job of it. Plus they're cute as all hell. But. I've listened to their recorded music and honestly, I can't ever see me wanting to relax, queue up the CD, and just listen to it. However, something truely magical happens when they get an audience in front of them. You get caught up in the energy and pure fun of it all. It's impossible not to have a good time! I'll suffer the screaming teens any time they're back in town because it's definitely worth it.

Meeting F-Kat and Z any Mouse has been a real highlight for me these past few months, and being featured on Twitarded is freakin' awesome icing on the cake! We actually have Twitarded and 17foreverLisa to thank for helping us start our little "book club" in the first place (that's what we call it to our husbands, but I think they're on to us) and I knew my fellow Twitards wouldn't turn out to be serial killers :)

Mrs. P, Im totally with you! He does sneek up on you and then you are left wondering how you could have missed him. I think maybe its the blinding beauty that is Robward that tends to just block everyone else out.

@Anon---yeah..he reminds of that guy you didn't realize was at the party, and then you found yourself in the basement making out with him by the end of the night. Was that too personal? maybe that shit just used to happen to me...

Mrs. P @ Twibite - I thought you were doing some sort of clever wordplay like "Edbrella". Btw I totally remember making out with some cutie at a party (in my youth)and to this day I don't know who he was. :D

It's amazing how we all seem to be on the same frequency over here - first the need to re-read Twilight, and now this - Jackonitis.

JJ - just so you know, I got Jacksonitis the day I saw Twired sisters' photos with Jackson, and Twilove1's photos over at Lisa's. He disarmed me with his smile, and obvious love and respect for the fans. Up until that point I felt absolutely nothing when I looked him, but now, I'm actually enjoying staring at him.

Btw, great to see you three, especially you Z Any Mouse, cause I haven't seen a photo of you before.

Jackson is adorable. I think its the smile. We are going to the concert in St. Louis on the 7th and cant wait. I hope we have 1/2 as much fun as as these ladies. There will be lots of drinks and Sexsper stalking....lol

Mmmmm Jackson! I was lucky enought to see Jackson and 100 monkies in Vancouver last year in April. Jackson is so hot in person, he walked onto the stage and smiled and I was just swept away by his smile.

I don't know, ladies....I just don't think I'm there yet. I think he has amazing eyes, but there is something lacking. I can't hardly handle the hair. It's too much for me. I believe the evil wig people may have ruined him for me for forever. I will say; however, that it's nice to see a Twilight guy that isn't all fucking emo all the time. He really seems like he is enjoying his life. I love Rob, but he exhausts me sometime with the angst and the ridiculous intelligence. Sometimes, a girl just want the Pretty, ya know?

If you're talking Jasper in the movies - blech. But Jackson? Yummy! I want to lick that tummy ink ;)Now don't get me wrong, this in no way eclipses my love for the RPattz - if I had to pick betwen the two of them, I'd say "Both please!". I'm equal opportunity kind of slut like that

The months since falling hard for the fanfic versions of Jasper- I’ve taken a 2nd & 3rd look at Jackson – and I’m likin’ what I see. I prefer ‘Jasperpants” to his music alter ego.. but hey.. I’m not THAT picky. (my 5 yr old loves the Last Airbender- I’m sooo taking him on opening day! We even sat down and talked about the character Jackson’s playing :-0)

Ok. I'll admit I was kinda on the fence with Jackson. I am now proud to say I am waaaaay pro-Jackson. Texas boy, killer smile and now seeing him with the Marines dress blues coat, oh my! All the new fantasies now in my head. Yummmmmmmm.

This stupid fucking douchebag has not earned the right to wear Marine Corps dress blues and especially not in such a trashy disrespectful. Until his pansy ass decides to join the fuck up and pass Marine Corps boot camp, he doesn't have the right. It's sickening that people think its okay to do just because they're famous

I'm so glad someone else has finally seen the light (that is, besides starfish422) !! Although Rob's been on my list of 5 "freebees" since HP (yes, I'm a geek), and he gets prettier everyday, I seriously can't leave off Jackson (or fuckasshawt Peter, for that matter), and have a hard time picking between the three. Jackson has this totally natural, relaxed demeanor and is TOTALLY the guy I crushed on in high school...and college. Longish hair, stage presence, musician...ugh. You know the type (obviously). And Thursday night 100monkeys tweeted that they're coming to my town and I seriously went upstairs and jumped on the bed squeeing (waking my hubbs up in the process) and told him I was having a girls night out the night they come to town and he better watch out because he's on my list of 5 freebees. !!! :)OH, and btw, I can't believe the entire fandom has ignored this possibility when considering abbreviating Jackson's name, so, I would like to be the first and patent it: JBONE. I mean, come ON! JBONE. It makes you giggle like a little girl AND raise your eyebrows. Am I right?!!

Jackson has definetely grown on me too. My fave pic ever of him has to be one shot by the paps in Vancouver...his hair is pulled back..in a brown leather jacket. If I could post a pic in the comments I would. That pic is what did it for me. <3 Jackson

You must check out this photo shoot from Glamour UK magazine.Jackson looks damn scrumptious and the pic where he is kissing Ashley made my mouth water.http://www.twifans.com/profiles/blogs/cullen-kids-uk-glamour-photo

I feel all happy ur liking my boy Jackson - coz he IS mine! I've had a thing for him since I read Eclipse (I saw the film then read the books) and noticed Jasper which obv made me notice Jackson himself. He's my all time number 2. If Rob wasn't so dorkalisious and tall I may hav even picked Jackson over him (blashemy!). Plus i no a lady who made a collage of Jackson crotch shots. I'm not dissapointed. At all! Tweet me if u ever wanna look. ;) now excuse me while I go lick I mean view some Jax photos

Ugh I fucking LOVE Jacksper! I have a bunch of friends who work at a bar in my town and I went there one saturday night... they were all "oh hey, the guy from Twilight was just here, his band was playing and he literally left like 10 minutes ago"....I was like "WHY did no one tell me?!?!!?" SO pissed. Maybe they'll play here again, I guess I'll just have to dream until then. I'm totally Team Edward but for some reason lately I've majorly been slutting it up in my dreams and I had a dream I met Jackson at a bar and we were gonna go bone down. Ever since that dream, I'm all about him. He's freaking gorgeous and his smile makes my panties melt off.

I know this is an old blog post but I HAD to comment. I read this before but I just recently hopped on the Team Rathbone train head first and am digging myself deeper and deeper in the vortex that is JRath. YUM YUM YUM!

Totally posting about him tomorrow and might have to make a little linky to this post on Borderline Phenomenal :)

It's amazing how we all seem to be on the same frequency over here - first the need to re-read Twilight, and now this - Jackonitis.

Anonymous to anonymous, Until there are restrictions on the sale/purchase of uniform items, then you will have people who wear them without knowing the disrespect. Better to write a letter or join a group that is working on awareness of earning the Marine Corps uniform.

Obsessed with Twilight? Think you're too old for this? You've come to the right place!

We are a bunch of over-thirty *cough*andforty*cough* chicks who never really meant to fall in love with Twilight... but somehow we did. Hard. Inexplicably, we've still got a lot to say about it. And other stuff. Join us!
